Abstract:
〈 p 〉 The purpose of this study was to assess 〈 em 〉 in vitro 〈 /em 〉 the activity of four essential oils ( 〈 em 〉 Cymbopogon citratus, Eucalyptus citriodora, Lippia multiflora, Melaleuca quinquenervia 〈 /em 〉 ) and the biobactericide Neco® on Gram-positive bacteria. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 〈 strong 〉 T 〈 /strong 〉 he aromatogram and antibiogram were assessed by the agar well diffusion method and the Muller Hinton disk-agar diffusion method, respectively. Also, the minimum inhibitory concentration and the minimum bactericidal concentration were determined by the microdilution method in liquid medium. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 The aromatogram showed that the biobactericide Neco® induced the largest inhibition diameters (34.53 ± 11.82 - 43.92 ± 5.38 mm) of all strains combined, followed by the essential oils of 〈 em 〉 Eucalyptus Citriodora 〈 /em 〉 (30.01 ± 3.02 - 41.89 ± 1.77 mm) and 〈 em 〉 Lippia multiflora 〈 /em 〉 (20.72 ± 4.72 - 37.61 ± 2.80 mm). However, the essential oils of 〈 em 〉 Melaleuca quinquenervia 〈 /em 〉 (19.99 ± 3.93 - 26.20 ± 13.27 mm) and 〈 em 〉 Cymbopogon citratus 〈 /em 〉 (13.52 ± 3.59 - 29.08 ± 2.35 mm) had the smallest inhibition diameters. Moreover, the comparison of the activities of the aromatogram and antibiogram revealed generally that activities were higher with essential oils than with antibiotics. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 At the end of this study, the essential oils of 〈 em 〉 Cymbopogon citratus 〈 /em 〉 , 〈 em 〉 Eucalyptus citriodora, Lippia multiflora, Melaleuca quinquenervia 〈 /em 〉 and the biobactericide Neco® had an antibacterial activity on Gram+ bacteria. 〈 /p 〉 〈 p 〉 〈 strong 〉 〈 br / 〉 〈 /strong 〉 〈 /p 〉
